http://nycsickchickclub.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 23, 2011. My Rheumy, My Friend. I feel fortunate enough to be at the point in my course of treatment that my 30 minute appointments with my Rheumatologist. At the Hospital for Special Surgery, are spent mostly catching up. It's clear that he takes a genuine interest in my life, and I in his. He has been one of the most important people in my life over the past 3 years. He saw me at my worst and has brought me back to my best. Sunday, October 16, 2011. The strength of my network that suppo...

NYC Sick Chick Club: Why I WILL Run Another Marathon
http://nycsickchickclub.blogspot.com/2012/03/when-i-wasin-school-i-never-settled-for.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. Why I WILL Run Another Marathon. When I was in school, I never settled for mediocrity. I had to have the highest grades, be the most involved, etc. I just needed to be in charge. I never did anything halfway. I never settled for average. I wanted to be a star. I would only do things if I could be the star; or be the best there was. I am truly learning to be happy with myself, my life, my achievements, and my belongings – instead of comparing myself to those of others. The Life an...

NYC Sick Chick Club: F is for Fatigue
http://nycsickchickclub.blogspot.com/2011/08/f-is-for-fatigue.html
Thursday, August 18, 2011. F is for Fatigue. Boy, have I been tired this week. Going to bed early, sleeping late, and generally feeling exhausted. I was so confused as to why this came on so suddenly. Then, it dawned on me: RA fatigue. It had been so long that the ugly F word showed up in my life that I actually forgot what it felt like. I had another a-ha! Moment this morning, as I rubbed my wrists and wondered why I was experiencing a flare of pain the last few days - my first flare in months. Jodi McK...

NYC Sick Chick Club: Wedding Advice Requested
http://nycsickchickclub.blogspot.com/2012/03/wedding-advice-requested.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. You may or may not know this, but I am engaged to be married in 99 days! The big day is fast approaching and I need the advice of my Sick Chick community. I've been on the fence over a very important issue: The guest list. I do not, however, want him to feel obligated to come (he likely won't) OR to send a gift. In my opinion, it's more of a gesture than anything else. Also, what if he does come! What would he think of my family? April 16, 2012 at 10:09 AM. I say go for it!

Friday, June 24, 2011. NYC Marathon - To Run or Not To Run? Before I was diagnosed with RA, I was a novice, recreational runner. My father was a runner and he somehow got the whole family into running/walking. We participated in many races together, including the Shelter Island 10k and the Long Island State Parks Summer Run series. As I was increasing my running chops (I somehow got down to a 9 minute mile - a major coup for a total non-athlete like me! A crazy thought entered my little brain. Last weeke...
